Healthy Diet

If you are a junk food lover, it’s time to change your nutrition plan.  Avoid having donuts for breakfast and fast food for lunch.  Eat small portions of food several times a day; it should be a combination of protein fats and carbohydrates. Also, eat good carbs like fruits and vegetables, brown rice and yams.  Lean protein like chicken, tuna, egg whites and lead ground turkey are also a healthy choice.

Avoid processed foods like pasta, bread and bakery items.  Include essential fats in your diet but lower your fat intake.  Good fats are found in salmon and olive oil.  If you have a sweet tooth, you can opt for a protein bar. Remember that it is more about what you eat than how much you eat.

Focus on Form

While performing abdominal exercises, your focus is required.  Ensure that you are using quality over quantity and using proper form. You can watch videos or seek help from an expert so that your aim of getting fit is achieved.

 Lift Weights

While lifting weights, you should maintain a proper body posture to get stimulation. Lifting weights will increase your metabolism as your lean tissue mass will increase. This results in good health and fitness. However, remember to not test your body and only lift weights you can easily lift.

Drink Plenty of Water

Drink at least eight glasses of water a day to keep your body hydrated.  Ensure that you keep yourself well hydrated to avoid water retention.  If your body is dehydrated, it will retain water and give you a ‘smoother’ look,

Genetics

If you have tried all of the above tips, but didn’t find the desired results; you may need to blame your parents as genetics play an important role in how far we can go to re-vamp our bodies.  If this is the case, then you should simply cherish who you are. Secondly, it is more important to be fit than to have six pack abs.

Important Note:

Remember the time lag. It will take some time for results to show when you start on your journey to really getting fit. Also, do not get carried away by fad diets, supplements and workout machines available in the market.  The infomercials we see regularly on televisions often misguide us; you cannot achieve six packs through a short-cut.  Putting fitness first and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the key to success!  If you remain consistent, you will surely achieve your desired level of muscle and fitness.
